Not far from the palace city, there is a large luxury mansion, which once belonged to the king of the Beiyuan official department.

The reason why it was once was because Wang Heming happened to be the first high-ranking official directly executed after Xue Yong came to power, and it was he who opened the prelude to the earthquake in Beiyuan officialdom.

I don't know if it's because the words of the great shaman about the direct line and side branches of the Yuan family played a role, or the new emperor thought that it was not appropriate to open a wide range of plants when he first ascended the throne, this Wang family was not exterminated, and a few people with deep entanglements of interests were thrown into prison, and the rest were just driven out of the Wang family's mansion.

The vacant house was also taken over by the newly established Sticky Pole and became its temporary headquarters.

In a pavilion in the house, two people sat opposite each other at a stone table.

Xue Rui, who was named Prince Rui by Xue Yongjia, and Yu Nan, who had to hide behind the scenes, had to hide from the front of the stage.

Nominally, Xue Rui is the first leader of the sticky pole, and Yu Nan is just his subordinate;

Nominally, Xue Rui is the Prince of Beiyuan, and Yu Nan is just a white-clothed man who escaped from Daduan.

But these days, Xue Rui never puts up a fight in front of Yu Nan, because he heard the story of the second child.

In his understanding, when it comes to the relationship with His Majesty, Yu Nan must be much closer than him, and the bullshit relationship of blood will not only not be beneficial in the royal family, but will also be unhelpful.

The status of the sticky rod is transcendent, directly belongs to His Majesty, and he has a lot of power, no matter how generous His Majesty is, he will not allow him to control the entire sticky rod up and down alone, and there must be someone close to him to monitor and balance him, obviously, this person is Yu Nan.

So at this moment, he looked at the pavilion with a smile, "Brother Yu, don't you know, in this Immortal City, those who can dig ponds in the mansion are all top-level nobles, this Wang Heming actually made such a big one, it seems that he is not less greedy, and he died unjustly." ”

Yu Nan turned his head, and as Xue Rui looked out, a pond half an acre in size was quietly rippling with light waves, and the fallen leaves were floating on the water, like a ship with no direction, drifting with the waves, and wasn't this just like he was now?

His identity as a spy has been revealed, but Xue Yong asks him to continue to contact Daduan and relay all the information to him.

Should I be determined to become a Beiyuan person, or should I still look for an opportunity to return to Daduan and return to my hometown as I thought before?

Yuzhang Qilin, who has always been wise, is full of hesitation and hesitation in his heart.

And he also knew very well that Xue Yong would definitely not allow him to linger forever.

"Brother Yu?

Xue Rui's two shouts in quick succession pulled Yu Nan out of his thoughts, and he hurriedly smiled and covered up: "I'm thinking that the cost of this pond is not low, right?"

"Not to mention that it is not low, the confessions of the Wang family said that Wang Heming has to change the water in this pond every three months, and this water has to be loaded from the fishing river where he was born in the northwest, and he still can't look at these water sources near Changsheng City, and they are dirty. Xue Rui said hatefully: "Damn, he lives more luxuriously than Lao Tzu." ”

"The officials of the ministry, the ones in charge of the officials' hats, how powerful. Yu Nan smiled and said: "But King Rui, you are hard and simple,

Self-inflicted. ”

Hearing this not-so-polite ridicule, Xue Rui was not only not angry, but was very happy, "The sticky rod was initially set, Brother Yu contributed a lot, and Gu has not thanked Brother Yu yet." ”

Yu Nan waved his hand, "It's all about contributing to the country and doing your best for Your Majesty, King Rui is serious about this." ”

Xue Rui looked at Yu Nan directly, "Brother Yu, that father-in-law?"

"Some things are already a foregone conclusion, if you ask someone else, what do you say?" Looking at Xue Rui's scared look after nodding, Yu Nan reminded with deep meaning: "Sensitive people or things, Your Majesty doesn't say anything, let's not toss." ”

Xue Rui arched his hand, "Thank you Brother Yu for mentioning it!"

"How do you thank you?" said Yu Nan suddenly.

Xue Rui didn't react for a while, "Huh?"

Yu Nan leaned over and said in a low voice: "It's cold at night, and I want to find someone to warm the bed." I wonder if King Rui has any recommendations?"

Xue Rui was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Yu Nan's deep thoughts, and thought for a while: "Wouldn't it be better for His Majesty to marry this matter?"

Yu Nan scolded secretly, and said without changing his face: "My identity is not visible now, how can Your Majesty give you a marriage." ”

"Then I'll keep an eye on you?"

"Then thank King Rui first!"

"Don't worry, it's not certain whether it will work out or not!"

"The choice of King Rui will be satisfactory to everyone. ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, and behind the smiles, they were all meaningful.

-------------------------

On the grassland about a hundred miles away from the Immortal City, the convoy that walked out of the Drinking Horse City was slowly moving forward.

Suddenly, I saw a man standing quietly on the road ahead, still masked.

The head of the guard looked nervous suddenly, and was about to give the order to attack, when a personal entourage who had been guarding near the carriage stepped forward, "Master let him pass." ”

The chief of the guard was stunned for a moment, and his face was puzzled, but the man flickered, and when the chief of the guard saw the figure again, he had already appeared next to the carriage.

Ashina Yili lifted the side curtain, glanced at the visitor, and smiled: "Come up and talk." ”

The visitor boarded the carriage, sat down opposite Ashina Yili, and tore off the black cloth covering his face, revealing a young face.

It was Xie Chong who had left the Yunmeng Sect.

Ashina Yili touched his grandson's head and said with a smile: "In front of you is one of the eight horses you have always admired, Shanzi, who is like a shadow. Why don't you hurry up and say hello?"

Ashina Siqi stood up excitedly when he boarded, but he hit his head on the top of the carriage, and had to half-squat, and arched his hand nondescriptly: "Ashina Siqi has seen Lord Shanzi. ”

Xie Chong hurriedly returned the salute, Ashina Yili smiled and pressed the excited grandson, looked at Xie Chong and said, "Come on time." ”

Xie Chong smiled slightly, "That's also because the boss is very punctual." ”

Ashina Yili looked in the direction of the Immortal City, his eyes seemed to pass through the block of the carriage, and he saw the long-lost Xiongcheng, "I haven't been back for some years, and I don't know how much it has changed." ”

Xie Chong didn't talk, such a character reminisced about the past and said anything he said

It's to disturb people's emotions.

Fortunately, Ashina Yili quickly retracted his gaze, "I heard that you went to the south, how do you feel?"

Xie Chong's expression was a little gloomy, "It's not good." ”

"That's because something bad happened in the north, and the south is naturally good. Ashina Yili patted his knee, "Things are people, and everything is restless, and tears flow first." You see, we can't write sentences like that. ”

Xie Chong was silent.

"The guilt will not go away, but the grief will always pass. ”

The old man who once commanded the grassland lowered his head, not knowing who he was talking to.

------------------

Another day passed quietly, and the roof seemed to have become a fixed chat place for Eile and Yang Qing.

In this regard, Zou He also once said to Yang Qingnian, you said that you have nothing to do all day long, there is such a big shaman temple under his hand, and countless believers in the entire grassland, he can actually chat with you every day in a panic, and it seems that he is not a good person who can do things.

Yang Qing was also upright, and directly transferred Zou He's words to Eile, waiting for his answer.

As a result, he said with a serious face: "I'm sorry, I have a good apprentice." ”

Yang Qing squatted down depressedly, "I miss very much when we first met, and we were still a little restrained and sincere with each other. ”

Eile pondered Yang Qing's words repeatedly, and then nodded solemnly, "Me too." ”

"It's a bit excessive!" Yang Qing had no choice but to remind with his sword qi.

I don't know if I saw something or remembered something, but he suddenly turned his head, "Let's fight, shall we?"

Yang Qing suddenly became serious, his body was like a sword, "Really?"

Eller nodded, "But that's it." ”

For example, masters of their realm, the opportunity to learn from each other is actually rare.

Although the competition can benefit each other, it also means that it will be exposed, and when the real enemy is faced, there will be a little more risk, after all, the battle of masters is only between the first line.

So seeing that Yang Qing nodded in agreement, Eile bowed seriously, "Thank you." ”

The two disappeared into the city, nowhere to go.

At the same time, in a side hall in the palace city, a grand banquet was in full swing.

The jade plate is like flowing water, and the warm clouds and red sleeves beckon.

Xue Yong drank the wine one by one, and did not forget to greet the ministers in the palace.

Everyone held wine glasses, and shook their heads with the waist and jade arms of the beautiful dancer among them, looking confused.

A jar of wine entered the stomach, and as His Majesty took the lead in setting an example, some actions gradually became presumptuous, and for a while, the palace was full of spring.

Outside the palace forbidden barracks, Li Hua stood upright with a knife in both hands, his eyes looked at the brightly lit hall, and his eyebrows lingered with melancholy.

Gonggong He sat alone beside Xue Lu's coffin, looking blank.

There was no one else in the temple, only the wind blew the white flags, and the candles danced on the white candles, accompanying the former monarchs, ministers and servants.

To the west of Immortal City, he succeeded in adding the hereditary four great ones to his own prince

After the words, the old prince took his six royal horses, with countless treasures and rewards, and slowly walked back to his own territory with satisfaction.

Immediately behind the Liubu King was Ma Qi, who also got a marquis title as he wished.

Although he was the victorious side in this big gamble, while rejoicing, he was also a little afraid of the thrilling encounters of himself and his son Ma Lianshan in these days, so he simply asked Emperor Yuan for permission to take the troops back to the territory to rest for a while.

In order to show his loyalty, he only brought his only son Ma Lianshan, leaving behind nearly 100 family members.

On the road leading from Qiu'an City to Immortal City, a large number of troops had just stopped and set up camp to rest.

In the middle of the procession, there is a horse-drawn carriage that is all black.

In the carriage, there were two people, one old and one young.

In a grassland about fifty miles north of Immortal City, the Blizzard Wolf Cavalry, who had been marching for several days, also camped and rested.

Helian Qingshan left the barracks and sat alone on a small hill, playing with the small seal in his hand.

In the south of Immortal City, on the northern edge of the Blue Wolf Plain, near the continuous mountain, Wu Ti was resting with thousands of Xianbei iron horsemen.

After several scouts who had been sent out in advance ran back to the station and reported to him about the changes and circumstances in Immortal City over the past few days, Wu Ti frowned.

Once again, clouds gathered from all directions, and another flood surged.

In the main hall of Eternal Life City, Xue Yong was drunk and confused, hugged Concubine Ming tightly, picked her delicate chin with his fingertips, and said with a smile: "I don't care what future generations say, I only care about what I want." ”
